The government is urgently inspecting all Boeing 787s after a devastating Air India crash that claimed at least 270 lives last week, the aviation minister said, adding that the authorities were investigating all possible causes.
The aviation regulator on Friday ordered Air India to conduct additional maintenance checks on its Boeing 787-8/9 aircraft equipped with GEnx engines, including assessments of certain take-off parameters, electronic engine control tests and engine fuel-related checks.
